I never said that and of course that's not the case.

However, changing methods is not the same as changing the supervisor, even in medical sciences. Part of the PhD learning process is to work with your supervisor even if things are not going smoothly. You cannot expect that all experiments work out properly so if you leave because of the first difficulties you will never get a PhD.

I don't care anyhow-it's not me who is falling in that trap.

Just go on (all of you) with your loser/complain about supervisor and hard life mentality but don't pretend that you know how reality is.

I'm out of this crappy forum anyway - goodbye and goodluck with your 20 attempts to get a PhD

Bye Apollo!

to face

just don't forget to send me an invitation to your PhD graduation - in the year 2034..

Hi MistaG, how have you been?

Wow!I never intended on creating all this with my question! I appreciate all of your responses though and it's made me more determined to try and get this project back on track rather than start afresh. I know that it's going to be more difficult this way...but perhaps it may be beneficial in the long run as it may help me be a bit more assertive and confident!
